I notice that Madelein has asked the exactly same question that I was going to ask. However, I'm still confused over this ... so if "I would buy a house" is translated as "J'achèterai une maison" how would you then translate "I will buy a house"

I'm a bit confused as to when to use, "mal," and when, "mauvais," as they both mean, bad. What are the rules or nuances?

Quelques ou plusieurs?

Wasn't sure which forum to ask this question as it relates to a different topic but this is the attached forum so I'll ask it here:

The statement and translation :

J’ai un cheveu blanc. – Non, tu as plusieurs cheveux blancs !

I have one white hair. – No, you have a few white hairs!

In this example the word ‘plusieurs’ was used to mean ‘a few’ but in the lesson “Quelques, plusieurs, de nombreux = A few, several, many (quantities), ‘plusieurs’ means several and quelques means ‘a few’. Is there a nuance in usage here?

If 'vous' is formal, masculine and single, then is there no agreement required? Thanks.
